Ibrahimovic open to World Cup call: If I want to go, I'm there

Zlatan Ibrahimovic claims it us up to him to decide if he will come out of international retirement to lead Sweden at the World Cup.

The 36-year-old, who signed for LA Galaxy in MLS on Friday, had called time on his Sweden career after his side crashed out of Euro 2016 at the group stage.

But Janne Andersson's men then qualified for this year's World Cup in Russia with a play-off defeat of Italy, leading to speculation that Ibrahimovic - out injured for much of the last 12 months - could make a spectacular return.

And asked about a potential comeback after joining the Galaxy, the former Manchester United man suggested Sweden are keen for that to happen.
